You can enter at any port in the US, air, land, or sea. Just do not leave once you enter without advance parole or a green card or you abandon the entire process.

You do not have to cross at Juarez. If you wanted to fly straight to Dallas or any other US City that has direct flights from Mexico, you can.

The second part of what I said is important, if your final destination does not have direct flights from Mexico, all immigration procedures will be done at the first US airport you land at.

One more point. You will not cross on your tourist visa, rather, you will show them your K-1 visa and enter on that. You can get to the US any way you wish.
